Editor's Notes
- Introduce yourself
- We had an awful lot of fun here for the Jazz & BBQ Festival, Music on Madison and Madisonville Winterfest. But everyone knows that this isn’t what you want in the center of your neighborhood. And when people from other neighborhoods drive through, this is what they see. This is their impression of the neighborhood. As you know, big things are about to happen here.
- Over the Summer we asked for developers to send in their qualifications to redevelop this area. (Not the one highlighted on this map.) They did and a committee of residents, business people and other experts has chosen a team to redevelop the blocks at Madison & Whetsel. That team has sent their selection to the City and we’re waiting on approval from the Mayor and City Manager before we’re able to announce the selection.
- This is a rough idea of what we thought it might look like when we started this process. It will probably look very different from this, but the drawing gives people a frame of mind for where we’re going here in Madisonville.
- This gives people a really good idea of how our streets will feel a few years from now. Residents and business people asked for pedestrian friendly development and we think this is what it will look like.
- This is a quick overview of the four big things that this community has put in place to promote smart growth in Madisonville. This slide makes for a good summary.
- FBC was put in place so that any new developments fit into the future that we have imagined. The main purpose of it is to have appropriate buildings in appropriate places – no more single story strip malls at the most important intersection in town. It will also help us to increase population here and expand living options.
- A couple of years ago we created the CED to attract more restaurants, bars and clubs so that Madisonville folks had some options to go out on a date in their own community. It allows establishments to get liquor licenses for a lot less money, making it more attractive for them to move here. At the same time, we have to approve the license so that we don’t get the bad actors here.
- We took the time to find out what we really want, and then we wrote it down. We own the real estate, now let’s make it happen.
- Explain the TIF.
- Paraphrase the slide
- This is what makes the development aspect of this so exciting – Madisonville gets to shape our future.
- What have we done so far or are in the process of doing.
- Housing values are going up, homes are selling for ABOVE asking price, listings move quickly and Madisonville is now a seller’s market. We have a great range of styles, prices, sizes, ages. Our housing stock caters to everyone. And it’s beautiful, too.
- Explain method and that it is 50 neighborhoods. Less raw crime than Oakley. Part 1 crimes only. Talk about recent efforts.
- We are a stable, diverse, well educated, middle class community. Go through this slide.
- We have a variety of options for schools – public, private and charter. Our public elementary – JP Parker – has small classes and are going from good to better in the ratings. They are a magnet school for their Latin program, making them a feeder for Walnut Hills, which is one of the top public schools in the nation.
- There are a variety of options for outdoor and indoor recreation in the neighborhood. And everyone is amazed at how quiet our streets are.
- This has been a slideshow about stats, information, demographics, plans and a lot of other “things” that you can tell people about Madisonville. What’s more difficult to get across to them is our best asset – the people. That one we just have to show to them. Tell people all about the great things that we just went over and get them into the community. Then they’ll see what a great group of people we have living and working here.
